Thanks will give that a go. My motherboard has a WiFi 6 card so will try setting up an ad-hoc connection for wireless VR once I've had a try with wired. Picked ul the humble bundle so got plenty to try.

The Walking Dead Game is great in the bundle - I've been playing it via VD - if you do this make sure you launch direct from VD, doesn't work via Steam Home (throws an error up).

Hmmm tempted to get another one, I opted for a refund when I sent it back as have the g2 on pre order, I was impressed with it after I got a 3080, but if it's even better now, it maybe all I need and could cancel the g2......

:D:D Do it!! :p

Seriously though, You had a broken Quest 2 as well. As you have read, the update for the Quest 2 for the Link cable is a big step up as you are finally able to use the full resolution and 90Hz.

For Sim games I think the Reverb 2 will still be better but the Quest 2 will be very close. I think you are mainly a Sim gamer right?

But, I don't know what I would do in your situation. It might be January before you can get the Reverb G2, but you could have a Quest 2 in a couple of days.

Tough choice!! I know I wouldn't have the will power to wait.

Yes pal mainly sims, so off in the distance clarity would be a big factor for me
 
It'll be interesting to see the comparison between the G2 and the Quest 2 when the update drops from Oculus for higher quality and 90hz.

G2 will probably still be better, as it's not compressed and has less latency, but is it worth twice the cost of a Quest 2? Especially when it has worse controllers and controller tracking. (Though much better comfort and audio).

I haven't had the link update for Quest 2 yet (it's a staged rollout), but I'm really looking forward to comparing it to my Index, which though it has lower resolution it currently looks much sharper than the Quest 2. Mind you even the Index taxes my graphics card. I imagine the Quest 2 at native resolution will be even more taxing.

It's a big improvement now link is using the native resolution of the Oculus 2 and 90Hz. Just installed the update on mine ran Half Life Alyx using link and it's a night and day difference so much sharper now.

No update visible in my settings. Might have it updated automatically?

Does this improvement with Alyx also noticeable with wifi VD or is it just link?

I manually installed the update on my quest 2 using the method on reddit (developer mode and abd commands).

War Thunder looks great now on link and is smooth as butter, I have the rendering resolution on 3696 x 1872 and 90Hz. I've done a lot of War Thunder flying on my Rift S (almost 1000 hours) and the Quest 2 is finally superior using link now.
 
Sorryy...

I mostly play with wifi VD as it seems better than link. Does this make link better than VD?
Do I need to have a monitor with >90hz active for quest to use this?
Any way to test frame rate in device?

my Q1 told me to make a Facebook account otherwise i couldn't use it ?

All new users of Oculus headsets need to use a Facebook account unfortunately. Only existing users with Oculus accounts can ignore the Facebook requirement for older headsets. Quest 2 requires a Facebook acccount for all users, even those with existing Oculus accounts.
 
Just watched the first video in the Everest VR series on the TV app.

As some one who does not like heights... :eek: Scared the crap out of me. I've watched videos of people climbing before, but in VR it's just a whole different thing. Doesn't really help that the camera is often suspended way above the ground on a steep mountainside. At times, the only way I could watch it without freaking out was to just pick something to focus on, and stare at it :p
 
I left my Quest 2 on all day yesterday and didn’t get the update. This morning gin hit restart and once it booted back up it started downloading the update. Not had chance to check it out yet, although I was using VD rather than Link before.
